What a week! .. well, weekS, actually...

Last friday I handed in the term paper on Siebold. I had worked on it while jobbing at the Bühnenverein, which was astonishingly stressfull. Completely lost any feeling for it, couldn't tell you what grade that'll be at all. Got back the other paper, 1.7, I'm proud. :D
I had a nasty cough for nearly two months now, no fever, no other symptoms of a cold, so obviously it was something of an allergic reaction. I had made doctors appointments to see to that, but *right* before I had to go to the doc, we found the reason: awful black mould in a corner of our living room, right were the bathroom of our neighbor shares a wall with it. Niiiice. Not.
Friday night S&P had a goodbye party and we gave them pictures of us where we look like criminals. Quite proud of the photoshop job there, too. :) I always have a hard time saying goodbye, but this was *really* hard. Japan actually is a world apart from here. ;_;
On the weekend rattenmaus came over and I didn't have half the time I wanted to spent with her. She's got gorgeous hair, legs and overall proportions; small wonder jerks keep on whistleing after her. She really does stumble a lot and makes hilariously inappropriate remarks all over. Damn! Forgot to ask her about the book!
Anyway, saturday I brought an enourmously important piece of paper to the Bundesverwaltungsamt. If everything works out I'll get a students loan which would cover two months in Japan just *so*. I've not yet lost all hope in our educational system, stupid me.
Then I went to the flea market to meet up with elfy, rattenmaus and a drugged-to-the-gills friend of elfys. XD
And we visited Papelito, where Rolf Ormanns was humming happily as always. I don't think rattenmaus felt the magic quite like we always do.
In the evening, Kan and me went shopping. Yes, on a saturday evening. No, we're not suicidal. And wow, did we find many shiny things! Well, less shiny and more essential. Bras! Tights! Shoes! And all on sale. Now I'm completely broke again, but I can dress accordingly to the weather. Yay!
Sunday we visited the cathedral and I got to see the new stained glass window by Richter. I have to say, I love it. Elfy spotted awesome symmetries. And, well. Colours! Yay!
On the side I tried to fix our washing mashine (again) and to prepare the small new rpg.
Monday rattenmaus took elfy and me out, which was awesome. Though... We went by Papelito and saw a sign there.
Rolf Ormanns died on sunday.
Fuck.
A neighbour of his saw us standing stunned on the street and told us: heart attack on the street in front of his shop.
That really hurt.
In the evening we played and it took a while for me to find my rythm again. Kan, K&K were already sick. Yesterday Elia and me followed. But I fixed the washing mashine, the dishwasher and got rid of the mould at last. Now our couch is in the kitchen, because nobody feels comfortable around the cough inducing mould corner. Yuck.

There's so much happening, so much change around me, so little term break left. So much still to do!

Friending policy

I add who I like or find interesting. Yes, OR. Friending doesn't equal "Starting a friendship" in my book. It just means I want to read what you write. That also means that I defriend whom I don't want to read anymore, regardless of me maybe still liking the writer. Maybe you are a terribly interesting person but your normal topics really don't tickle me, maybe we communicate so differently that I'd have to learn your code before understanding your meaning, maybe I'm just not as interested as I thought I'd be.
Don't take it personally, it really never is.

I don't ask before I friend. I believe friends-only and friends-group options are there for filtering, so if you don't want me to read what you write, filter me out. I'm doing the same. Public means public, period.
So you don't have to ask my permission to friend me, either. :)

**************

Ich friende, wen immer ich mag oder interessant finde. Yep, oder. Frienden bedeutet für mich nicht "Eine Freundschaft beginnen". Es bedeutet bloß, dass ich lesen möchte, was jemand schreibt. Dementsprechend defriende ich, wessen LJ ich nicht mehr lesen möchte, unabhängig ob ich denjenigen vielleicht immer noch sympathisch finde. Vielleicht ist jemand total interessant, schreibt aber über Themen, die mich wirklich nicht kitzeln, vielleicht kommunizieren wir beide derartig unterschiedlich, dass ich erstmal den anderen Code lernen müsste, um zu verstehen, was eigentlich wie gemeint ist, vielleicht bin ich einfach doch nicht so interessiert wie ich dachte.
Man nehme das nicht persönlich, es ist es nicht.

Ich frage auch nicht, bevor ich friende. Ich glaube fest daran, dass friends-only und friends-group Optionen dafür da sind, auszufiltern. Wer also nicht möchte, dass ich was lese, sollte mich wegfiltern. Mache ich genauso. Öffentlich bedeutet öffentlich, Punkt.
Also muss man mich auch nicht fragen, ob man mich frienden darf. :)
